    D&D General What's the weirdest old edition material have you stuck in your 5e game lately?

    I guess the weirdest (from most of my players perspective) would be; A) I'll often ask them to roll an ability check - d20, looking for = or lower than your stat. This has perplexed a number of them over the years..... I do this because this is how we did/do it in 1e. I do this because I'm...

    Gen Con Is Going Ahead

    I'd LIKE to go to GC this year. Maybe I'll sign up & get a cheap hotel room* & just see how things look closer to the date. *being lazy & well funded, I usually stay right down town, preferring the Marriot(s). But if I might well cancel last minute I'm not opposed to "as cheap as possible +...

    Name that alias (Batman's rogues gallery)

    Missed these three: Secondary antagonists: Killer Croc Calendar-Man And for bonus points: Polka-Dot Man Calendar-Man & Polka-Dot-Man - These have never stuck in my memory. Not when young, & not now. Of course it doesn't help that over the years I've read maybe 3 issues featuring Calendar &...

    D&D 5E (2014) DMs: What percentage of your spells in 5E are homebrew?

    Wether 5e or PF1, we've had very few custom spells in our games in recent years. Either on the DM or the PC side. Now & then the PCs might find something I've pulled out of a previous edition source book - for ex; I still make use of my 1e FR Magister book. And sometimes there's spells or...

    D&D 4E Best 4E module?

    But are those good adventures because of the mechanics? Or are they just plain good stories that capture the imagination & would do so regardless of the edition they appeared in? There is a difference. Because the OP wants something that sells 4E. A reason for someone to play THAT edition.

    Immoral player characters in RPGs

    Well, up in post 8 you seem upset about the use of the grenade & the results that followed. My point is that if you'd done your job that previous session & had the NPCs act logically - searching the prisoners/removing weapons, etc - then this whole murder-by-grenade incident wouldn't have even...

    Immoral player characters in RPGs

    I'm missing something here. How was it that Allissa's player got to establish that she hadn't been searched when captured? Where the *** was she keeping that grenade that it wasn't easily found? Or are grenades in traveler really easy to conceil/overlook? Imo the blame in this situation lies...

    D&D 4E Best 4E module?

    What you need is a real life Wish spell, not a module. Failing that you'd better start writing.... In all honesty I don't think there's a 4e module that could even come close to what you want. At least not written by WoTC.

    D&D 5E (2014) Dealing with optimizers at the table

    You run two games. On the same night, just alternating weeks. If needed you recruit additional players of the appropriate types to fill out the groups. Week #1: Non-optimizers Week #2: Optimizers Week #3: Non-optimizers Week #4..... If the optimizers complain that they aren't playing with the...

    D&D General Never seen this in a published module before. You?

    Oh yeah. N1 is the only one I remember discussing actually playtesting things, but I've seen similar advice in various other 1e/Basic era modules. Advice on changing things up/down based on party strength, ideas on what to do if the party takes certain courses of action, a suggestion for how...
